The Problem

92% of Americans have access to their medical records online. More than 50% of patients who use the online portal are accessing their radiology reports. However, these reports are technical documents written in medical terminology, and most patients don't understand them.

Our Solution

We're creating a radiology report that people can actually understand. Our software analyzes the text of a standard radiology report, translates that text into simple language, and displays the report results on a diagrammatic, interactive webpage.

Why Scanslated?

We start with a medical report meant for a doctor, not a patient, and use machine learning to automatically translate and display it as an easy to understand webpage designed for patients.

This saves doctors' time, enhances patient understanding, and incentivizes patients to use the existing patient portal—which our product integrates with seamlessly.
